Hey Siri, "What's coming at WWDC?"
"Tim Cook is announcing his resignation. Let the celebrations begin!"
"Tim Cook is announcing his resignation. Let the celebrations begin!"
Siri helped a mother save her daughter's life recently. Not useful enough?
If Tim resigned, who would take his place? Apple would go down the pan if Cook resigned!
Genuinely, I can't wait for the day when you write a positive comment about Apple. I think I might have to screenshot it and pinch myself.
I use Siri on a daily basis for calls, timers, appointments, reminders, Google searches, and Wolfram Alpha info.

Wish they would actually get Siri's functionality to the level of Cortana or Google Now. Or at least open it up for others to access during apps. Siri is good at setting appointments and reminders. And good for silly parlor tricks they program before big events.
But it SO underwhelming compared to what was demoed years ago and has failed to improve.

Why would you kill a talking dog. That's awesome. The closest I got to getting my dog to talk is when he growls:
"Ri luve yuy"
Which means:
"Pet me or I'll take your socks
That is Apple nerd slang for WWDC. A nice little touch that she says that.
I dunno. I don't think I'd ever get tired of a talking dog, even if it talks nonsense.
It's a pleasant enough surprise when a dog doesn't poop on the carpet, eat the poop, puke the poop, eat the puke, then puke the puke. Maybe my standards are a little lower than yours.
Well speaking of talking dogs..
I always pronounce it "Dub". I know the name is "Double U" but that's 3 syllables. It defeats the purpose of an acronym to replace the words "World Wide" with "Double U Double U".
Alternatively, you could just said "World Wide D C", but then you're mixing part of the name with an acronym.
This developer page gives a few minor hints about some software additions we can expect.
"Hello self-combusting selfies" is perhaps referring to a SnapChat-like non-permanent picture message that's only temporarily available to the recipient.
"Hello rain in five minutes" seems to refer to improvements in the Weather app along the lines of near-casting or now-casting, which offers improved and more detailed short-term forecasts based on recent and current observations.
Other less interesting ones seem to be about sport deals (Baseball) on AppleTV, some watch stuff and some fitness stuff which could be AppleTV or Apple Watch-related or both (integrated).
But we know most people just want to see the hardware!

Talking, and locating women, are pretty much all you could ask for in a dog.
Siri, are Macs switching to ARM at dud-dub-d-c?
Well, that would be handy for me, wouldn't it, MacHiavelli!

Witty responses are annoying distraction for incompetence.
Spewing out silly jokes is all that Siri's good for.
Google's AI is running circles (and beating Go champions) around Siri.
While Google was buying DeepMind AI, Tim Cook and Eddy Cue were buying BEATS urban fashion brand and made billionaires out of bunch of rappers.
Apple's run by morons.
